Hey guys! Here's chapter six!

Eli

I felt like a zombie when I walked around Degrassi. It was weird not seeing Clare's smiling face there. Adam tried to cheer me up with the new limited addition comic book, but that didn't help. I thought about her all day.

After school, I drove to the hospital to see how she was doing. She sat in her bed, reading a book, of course. I knocked on her door, and she waved.

"So what's up?" I asked. She shrugged and continued to read her book.

"Nothing," She said, and went back to her computer.

"Listen, Clare," I said, grabbing a chair. She looked up from her book. "I'm so sorry about them hurting you. I never wanted you to get hurt!" She sighed.

"Eli, I cant be with you if this is what happens," She said, motioning to her hospital bed. I looked down.

"Clare, I didn't think they would do that!" Clare shook her head.

"You should go, Eli," She said. I quickly got up and walked outside, not wanting her to see my cry.

I couldn't believe that she actually thought that I had intended on this happening. She knew better than that. But also, I realized that she didn't quite get why Fitz would kidnap her like that. Obviously it was so I would surrender and they could beat me for as long as they wanted to. Just as long as Clare was fine. But she wasn't fine, and I couldn't deal with that.

I got home, looking at my mom passed out on the couch where beer bottles lay on the ground. I shook my head. I went to my room and got my homework done. I probably missed about every question because I was too busy thinking of Clare.

The next day at school, I saw Clare there. My eyes lit up right away, and my heart raced. But then went back to normal as I remembered that she now hated me.

She limped a bit when she walked. Her ribs were probably still broken, also. It killed me to see her like that. I took a deep breath, and tried again to win her back.

"Happy to see you back," I said. She looked at me, then walked a little faster, but had trouble with all the books she carried. "Here, let me take them," I said. She blushed a little, but it quickly left her face. I sighed. The bell rang and she took her books and hurried to her class.

I looked down at my feet, then got shoved by some idiot. An idiot named Fitz.

"Get lost," I said. He snickered.

"Just remember, it's your fault Clare is hurt." My heart raced at that point, and I stopped thinking. I punched Fitz. He groaned, then pretended to fall over. What was his problem? I then realized that Clare was standing there with a teacher.

Could my life suck anymore?

I waited in the office. I sat there, jittery. Clare had seen me punch Fitz. Now she thought I was some crazed freak. But to be truthful, that's how I felt when I punched him. I was filled with rage, anger, and sadness. Put all that together and you get crazed.

"Eli Goldsworthy," Mr. Simpson said. I stood up, and he motioned for me to go into his office. I sat down in my the chair I usually sat in daily.

"Alright, lay it on me," I said. Mr. Simpson straightened his poster.

"Yes, uh, well Eli, you have gotten into many fights already this school year. You will have detention tonight, tomorrow, Thursday, and Saturday." I nodded and got up.

When English came around, I sat in front of Clare.

"Clare, I barley punched him," I said. She looked up, her blue eyes bluer than ever.

"I don't wanna hear it!" She said. I turned around, and class started. I barley was paying attention to what Ms. Dawes was saying. I usually didn't care.

Class ended finally, and I walked to my locker, feeling horrible. Adam came up to me.

"Hey, wanna go to the Dot?" He asked.

"I don't get it!" I said. Adam looked confused.

"What? It's just the Dot."

"Not that, dummy. I mean Clare," I said. Adam nodded. Clare walked by, giving me a sourly look. I rolled my eyes. "I've said sorry, and all of that! But she still hates me."

"Dude, just give her space."

"But, I'm like in love with her! I have to be with her."

"Have you told her that?" Adam asked. I looked at him weirdly.

"She would probably end up slapping me," I said. Adam laughed hysterically. I glared at him, and he quickly stopped.

What was I going to do?

Clare

It was weird having Eli want me back. I didn't trust him anymore. I mean, just today he decided to punch Fitz right in front of me and a teacher. It was pathetic. No, it sickened me. I couldn't believe he tried to get me back, after all that happened.

I walked to the Dot with Alli, who had just decided to bring Jenna with. I rolled my eyes each time she mentioned K.C. And she smiled every time she saw me do it.

I barely talked or ate when we went to the Dot. Alli and Jenna gossiped and talked about their boyfriends, leaving me feel weird.

I wanted Eli, but after being kidnapped like that, it really scared me. I wasn't sure if I wanted to be with him, or stay clear of him. He was sweet, funny, charming, but also violent, scary, and mysterious.

Sorry not too good of an ending to the chapter. So don't forget to review, review, review! Thanks! :)
